"Groundhog Day"

Amy wonders if she should date again; Dina tries to relax so that the implantation will take; Jonah and Kelly try their hand at being the store announcers while Garrett temporarily takes over Dina's position.


Tropes:

  • Am I Just a Toy to You?: Tate gets upset when Amy doesn't want to see him after their night together, asking if she just sees him as a "human vibrator."
  • Sex for Solace: Amy ends up sleeping with Tate when her self-esteem is down, but considers it a one-night-stand and doesn't want to seriously dating, which upsets him.
  • Sexiness Score: Discussed when Amy's thinking about dating again after her divorce and Mateo and Cheyenne give her a harsh "rating" during lunch.
    Mateo: Amy, I'm gonna give you some gay man tough love right now. Okay, no tea, no shade... you're not a ten right now. It's not about your looks. You just have some major dings. You're over 30, you're divorced, you have a kid.
    Amy: Cheyenne has a baby! Does that give her a ding?
    Cheyenne: No, because I have a baby the way that Chrissy Teigen has a baby. You have an old baby, so that's a double ding.
    Carol: Plus, you're probably really out of practice sex-wise.
    Amy: Excuse me?
    Mateo: And I'm guessing your downstairs is a jungle?
    Tate: Mmm, retro. Nothing wrong with that.
    Amy: No, it is a manicu- you know what? I am not gonna defend myself. This whole system of rating people is gross.
    Carol: What's my number?
    Mateo: Um, you're a four, Justine's a three.
    Justine: But it's cool, 'cause I clean up on twos. Girl's trip!
    Cheyenne: No, Sarah's a seven, Brett's an eight, Tate's a ten because he has a good job and abs.
    Tate: That's correct, I'm the complete package.
    Justine: Wait, what number is Amy? Are we tied?
    Amy: God no!
    Beat [everyone states at Amy awkwardly]
    Amy: I'm sorry, that was not- no, I think you're beautiful. See! This whole system just sets us back.
    Mateo: You're just a little bit higher than Justine.
    Amy: A little higher?
  • Will They or Won't They?: Marcus believes he and Amy have sexual tension "like Kermit and Miss Piggy."
